Ingredients
- 1 pound ground meat beef, turkey, pork, or chicken
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tbsp ground flaxseed as an egg substitute
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- In a small bowl, combine ground flaxseed with 6 tablespoons of water and let it sit for a few minutes until it thickens, creating a flax "egg" mixture.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground meat, chopped onion, minced garlic, prepared flax "egg," tomato paste, olive oil, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Use your hands or a spoon to mix everything until well combined. Make sure not to overmix, as it can make the meat tough.
- Shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter, and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each meatball.
- Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are cooked through and slightly browned on the outside.
- Once cooked, remove the meatballs from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
- Serve the eggless dairy-free meatballs hot with your favorite sauce or alongside pasta, rice, or vegetables for a satisfying meal.
Notes
If you don't have ground flaxseed, you can use 2 tablespoons of breadcrumbs or oats (gluten-free if needed) instead. Combine it with other ingredients.
